In the Caribbean, dominoes is more than a game. It is part competition, part conversation, part neighborhood theater. The sound of tiles hitting the table echoes through rum shops, street corners, and family yards across Jamaica.

A vertically oriented, weathered concert poster fills the frame, its surface marked by deep fold lines that divide the image into uneven rectangles. The paper appears yellowed and brittle, with torn corners and strips of aged tape clinging to the edges, suggesting it was once pinned to a wall and later salvaged. At the top, bold text reads “ONE LOVE PEACE CONCERT,” set within a border of red, gold, and green stripes that echo Rastafarian colors. Centered beneath the title is a monochrome, sepia-toned photograph of Bob Marley mid-performance, eyes partially closed, mouth open in song, one hand gripping a microphone. His dreadlocks frame his face and fall onto a simple jacket, conveying intensity and resolve. Below the image, large block lettering announces “BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS.” Near the bottom, smaller text lists the venue and date: National Stadium, Kingston, Jamaica, April 22, 1978. The entire poster feels worn yet reverent, like a relic that has survived decades of handling, carrying the atmosphere of a historic night where music and political tension briefly gave way to collective hope.

Here’s another gem from #RogerSteffens’ Reggae Archives: an original Who Feels It Knows It album signed by Rita Marley herself.
Rita is the matriarch of the Marley legacy, an influential artist and activist in her own right.

AT THE TIM “NAPALM” STEGALL SUBSTACK In Memoriam: Jimmy Cliff (1944-2025) How the Jamaican musical legend "brough reggae music to the world!!" #TheTimNapalmStegallSubstack #TimNapalmStegall #JimmyCliff #Obituary #TheHarderTheyCome #ReggaeHistory #ReggaeMeetsPunk open.substack.com/pub/timnapal...
Jimmy Cliff se ha ido y el mundo queda un poco más huérfano de coraje melódico. Del patio jamaicano al celuloide, del rocksteady al punk, vivió como un delta en movimiento: sin fronteras, sin corsés y siempre a contracorriente

Before reggae journalism went digital, The Beat magazine was the heartbeat of the culture, connecting fans across the world with stories, interviews, and rare insights into the artists who shaped the movement. Co-founded by Roger Steffens and CC Smith following the success of Roger and Hank Holmes' groundbreaking KCRW radio show “Reggae Beat”, the magazine became a vital archive of reggae, African, and Caribbean music from the '80s through the 2000s. Here are a few of The Beat’s Bob Marley collector’s edition covers, each marking a different era in Marley’s legacy, from “The Troubled Legacy” to “25 Years On.” These covers remind us of how reggae’s message of resistance, love, and unity has continued to echo across generations. 📰 From the airwaves of KCRW to the pages of The Beat: Word, Sound, Power live on.
